Coming Back to Life
Practices to Reconnect our Lives, Our World

Joanna Macy, PhD, and Molly Young Brown, MA, MDiv

Since its publication in 1983, Joanna Macy's book, Despair and Personal Power in the Nuclear Age has sold nearly 30,000 copies and has been the primary resource for groups of men and women confronting the challenging realities of our time without succumbing to paralysis or panic. Coming Back to Life provides a much needed update and expansion of this pioneering work. At the interface between spiritual breakthrough and social action, "Coming Back to Life" is eloquent and compelling as well as being an inspiring and practical guide. The first third of the book discusses with extraordinary insight the angst of our era, and the pain, fear, guilt and inaction it has engendered; it then points forward to the way out of apathy, tio "the work that reconnects." The rest of the book offers both personal counsel and easy-to-use methods for working with groups in a number of ways to profoundly affect peoples' outlook and ability to act in the world.

Joanna Macy has developed an international following over the course of 40 years as a speaker, author of many books, and workshop leader on Buddhist philosophy and the deep ecology movement.

Molly Young Brown is a psychotherapist and writer who lives in Mt. Shasta, California. Her psychotherapy and life-coaching practice focuses on Psychosynthesis, which she studied under its originator, Dr. Roberto Assagioli. Her books include Growing Whole: Self-Realization for the Great Turning, Held in Love: Life Stories to Inspire Us Through Times of Change (Co-editor), and The Unfolding Self: The Practice of Psychosynthesis.
